To determine the suitability of any equipment in construction site or mining site, it is very much required to determine the cutability/ drilability or blastability factor of rock or soil. But as I do not have received sufficient data from your side, I can only asume some details from best of my knowledge after watching the video you have provided in youtube. I have watched the video you have mentioned and considered the following parameters from the best of my geotecchnical knowledge— 1. The area of interest is completely on rock not soil 2. The rock strength (UCS) is high …

The details about the GATE exam has been described in this article. This article also gives the list of reference books regarding Mining Engineering course i.e. Engineering mathematics,books for verbal and numerical ability and many more This article is actually very useful for the Mining engineering students and candidates.

Actually everything you see around you is supported by rock or soil and geotechnical engineers are responsible for that to prevent failure of those materials. Anything that is not supported by soil or rock, either floats, flies or falls down. Geo-technics and geo-technical engineering is an engineering discipline that deals with both soil and rock behavior in an engineering and technical perspective. It actually involves assessing slope stability, ground stability and the risk of landslides, rock fall and avalanches.

The life cycle of mining process begins with basic three activities exploration, continues through production, and ends with closure and post mining reclamation for land use. New technologies can benefit the mining sector and consumers in all stages of the mining life cycle. This report does not include downstream processing, such as smelting of mineral concentrates or refining of metals. The discussion is limited to the exploration technologies that affect steps leading to the sale of the first commercial product after mineral extraction.
Mineral exploration and mining history of India are closely related to the establishment of Geological Survey of India …

Inversion algorithm: A geophysical method used to predict mineralized ore body.
Portable analyzer: It provides on the spot result, which helps avoid unnecessary and analytical testing at a laboratory.
Geopositioning(GPS): It uses satellite signals to determine location, provides fast and accurate information.
LIDAR(Light Detection And Ranging): It is used to map the topography of a region accurately using Laser mounted on a plane.
CORIENTR Core orientation system: This information added to a data integration platform to develop 3D model
Ore RFID: These are being used to track ore after it has been extracted without any need for physical verification. …

Asteroid mining is the exploitation of raw materials from asteroids and other minor planets, including near-Earth objects. Minerals and volatiles could be mined from an asteroid or spent comet then used in space for in-situ utilization (e.g. construction materials and rocket propellant) or taken back to Earth.
These include gold, iridium, silver, osmium, palladium, platinum, rhenium, rhodium, ruthenium and tungsten for transport back to Earth; iron, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, aluminium, and titanium for construction; water and oxygen to sustain astronauts; as well as hydrogen, ammonia, and oxygen for use as rocket propellant.
Due to the high launch and transportation costs of spaceflight, inaccurate identification of asteroids suitable for mining, and in-situ ore extraction challenges, terrestrial mining remains the only means of raw mineral acquisition today. This situation is …
